In this episode, Sam sits down with Caroline Shermer to explore the complexities of body image, eating disorders, and the impact of diet culture.

The role of body image in eating disorder recovery and why it’s often overlooked
How social media and constant “body data” fuel dissatisfaction and comparison
The concept of “body image as brain work,” not just about appearance
Expanding the spectrum: moving beyond the binary of body hatred vs. body positivity
Practical tools for clients: self-compassion, mindfulness, and values-based work
The “consent problem” in diet culture and how to reclaim agency
Why body peace is a process, not a destination—and what it really means
